Social Media and Crisis
Communications (Revisited)
Shel Holtz, ABC
April 27, 2009
Baseline: What is a PR crisis?
 An unanticipated event or disclosure
that threatens your organization’s/client’s
reputation
The conundrum
 Nothing’s changed
 Crisis principles remain unaffected
 Everything’s changed
 Solution:
Apply crisis basics to Web 2.0 crises
Crisis basics
 The public is risk-averse
 The public attaches little credibility to business advocates
 Media’s role is based on conflict
 Advocacy groups will exploit your crisis to their own
ends
 Emotion, not logic, is at issue
 If you engage in debate, you’ll be seen as defensive
 Crises are characterized by symbols
Exxon Valdez
Enron
Ford Explorer/Firestone Tires
Key crisis goals
 Survive the crisis
 Present/maintain positive image
 Maintain constituent support
 Monitor / listen (a given)
 Address misperceptions and misinformation
 Eliminate or alter the symbols
Tylenol (at first)
Tylenol (long-term)
Strategies
 Respond quickly, accurately, professionally, with care
 Be transparent and accessible
 Treat perceptions as fact
 Acknowledge mistakes
 Tailor messages to address the “angry” party
 Note other side’s concerns
 Make no public confrontations
 Emphasize existing relationships
The reality of crises today
 Erupt with unprecedented speed
 An insatiable thirst for news
 Anyone can break news
 Porous boundaries between social & mainstream media
How fast does news break?
What is news?
 Not just major announcements or milestones
 Instead: Frequent, regular updates
 We’re in meetings discussing it
 New information is emerging
 These updates will drive the 140-character news cycle
 Without them, other content will

Three case studies

MotrinMoms
Motrin parody video
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpqpAGLS2t4
AmazonFAIL
 Began with a single blog post
Why Amazon failed
 No apology
 Insisted it was just a “glitch”
 Never acknowledged aggrieved parties
Domino’s
Domino’s preliminary response
 AdAge:
Don’t add fuel to the fire
 Ragan.com:
It hasn’t spread to mainstream media
Is the Dominos symbol changing?
Why use social media in a crisis?
 It’s where people increasingly go for information
 Online social interaction centers around the "emergency
period" of an event – University of Colorado at Boulder
 Instant updating
 Human voice
 Accommodates public’s emotional response
 Produce a record
 Two-way communication is more credible

and the Trust Barometer

Why a blog is a prerequisite
